Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation invites a team of journalists from France to promote Maldives as an affordable destination and highlight on Maldives’ sustainable tourism initiatives. This is the fourth group of media visiting Maldives, as part of a series of FAM Trips organized by MMPRC to increase exposure to Maldives. They will be in Maldives from 29th June to 3rd July 2019.
The journalists stayed at Plumeria Maldives and Meeru Island Resort. During the four days in Maldives, the journalists were exposed to the Underwater Beauty of Maldives through snorkeling and boat excursions. Part of their experiences was observing the coral nursery of the host resorts who aim for sustainable tourism. They also toured the local island of Thinadhoo and met with the community to experience local lifestyle.
The team comprised of journalists from A Nous Paris, La Voix du Nord, Femme Actuelle and La Provence. They will publish articles about their time and experience in Maldives for their respective publications.
